Today is the Mid-American Conference 2010 Football Media Day in Detroit, Michigan (Ford Field).

Joining MAC Commissioner, Dr. Jon Steinbrecher will be all 13 head coaches from our member institutions and two student-athletes from each university. Special guests at media day include Bill Hancock, Executive Director of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and ESPN Game Day college football analyst Desmond Howard.

Representing Toledo are Head Coach Tim Beckman, Wide Receiver Eric Page and Linebacker Archie Donald. There’s sure to be go stuff coming out of the presentations today, so check back for updates.

The University of Toledo will play the University of Miami in a home-and-home football series beginning in 2015, UT Athletic Director Mike O’Brien announced today. The Rockets will host the Hurricanes on Sept. 5, 2015 and travel to Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL on Sept. 3, 2016.

The Rockets and the Hurricanes have played once before, a 24-14 home-field victory for Miami on Nov. 21, 1987. Miami was ranked No. 3 in the nation at the time in both the AP and UPI polls, and went on to win the national championship that season thanks to a 20-14 win over then-No. 1 Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl.

As UT Athletic Director O’Brien said in an official statement “Miami is arguably the highest-profile opponent ever to play in the Glass Bowl”, we couldn’t agree more and look forward to the series. Playing against a team with such history in a home and home series speaks volumes for the Rockets reputation.

Game details: September 3, 2010 – Toledo, Ohio

Last year, we teamed up with the Purdue blog, Hammer and Rails, to answer some questions about our program and bring you some info on theirs. In 2010, with Purdue back on the Toledo schedule, we’ve teamed up with them for a Q&A about our program and what they can expect to see from us this year. Hop over to their blog and see what we had to say about our Rockets.
